A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

08:40 Chapter 440 They didnt know that she owned companies in various industries .

She had never shared any of this with them , nor had she ever boasted about her capabilities .

Though they were so familiar with her , there was an undeniable sense of strangeness .

Calliope had always been the little sister who listened , who followed their lead .

But things had changed .

She no longer sought their approval , choosing instead to forge her own path .

She tended to discard their love and accept other brothers , her affection towards them lost .

Valerian watched her with a complex mixture of emotions , aware of his own mistakes but struggling to admit them .

He wanted things to go back to the way they were , yet every time he tried , he ended up defending Lisette , inadvertently hurting Calliope in the process .

Though he knew his actions were wrong , he couldnt shake the feeling that she should understand .

She should love them .

They were her real brothers ; what did she have to worry about ? Lisette was the one who truly had no one to care for her.

The three of them , each wearing a different expression , returned to the presidents office with Calliope .

As they settled into the reception area , Calliope crossed her legs with a calm confidence .

Her perfectly contoured eyes turned to Monty as she began , So , have you got the paperwork ready ? Monty jumped up swiftly .

Oh , right ! Ill get the agreement drawn up and carry out the procedure .

But , Callie , you know these things take time to manage .

I get it , Calliope replied , her voice steady .

No rush .

Ill handle my end .

I Alright , Monty uttered , nodding .

He took a deep breath and continued as he glanced at her .

Callie , Ive been rdue .

thinking .

I havent treated you fairly .

Youre my daughter , after all , and this transfer of shares is I know it might take time for you to forgive me , but give your old man a chance .

Come back home for dinner sometime .

Well have a room ready for you .

Calliope swept a look at Monty .

Are you sure ? Dont you feel Im an eyesore ? Wont I just ruin your cozy family dinners ? Why would you say that ? Of course not , youre my daughter ! Monty hurriedly responded , And with Thanksgiving coming up , itd be great to have you and Silas join us .

She shrugged noncommittally .

Well see .

Not wanting to push her further in case she got irked , Monty quickly moved to have the transfer agreement drafted .

Meanwhile , Horatio and Valerian gazed at Calliope silently .

Finally , Horatio spoke up , Callie , Im sorry .

Calliope looked at him , surprised .

What was that ? Im sorry … Ive neglected you all these years .

Especially after you did the surgery and helped me walk again .

Sorry , I misjudged you .

He recalled the times she had selflessly supported him , and how he had let his attention drift because of Lisette .

Calliope gave him a wry smile .

Afraid I didnt do my best work on you , huh ? Dont worry , I took an oath , remember ?
